Rear speaker install, crew cab

[Ozzie]

What kind of sick joke is this?

I do the front speakers...pretty straight forward, sound really a bunch better.
Can't wait to do the back and square that away...so I take off the back door panels thinking this would be a piece of cake...and what???
The speaks are mounted on some kind of plastic frame holding it away from the door frame and fastened in the corners with what looks to be pop rivets. Almost like they should be screws, only too smooth of surface for a tool.

I starting drilling out the fasteners and the little birdie told me to stop before I demolish this bracket beyond recognition...

So...what is the trick to these speaker brackets? These fasteners that are wannabe screws. Are they pressed in?
It doesn't look very well designed and I certainly wouldn't work with it if I was going with a tricked out system.

I won...what a pain in the rear those fasteners were. They must've been pressed in because although it was a torx pattern, a bit wouldn't fit.
I had to drill the heads off and clean things up.

Now it all running and sounds great, one of the best 100 bucks I've spent.
Only thing is now that I woke up the speakers in the rear doors I have a little rattling...

What speakers did you go with?

I went with the Kicker 07DS600's...read tons of reviews, and these are among the few that have a decent bottom end and all poly. They shouldn't break down as fast.
I will say the bottom end is impressive especially for a stock replacement speaker. I can feel the bass on my legs.

I searched all over for these - 2 pair shipped for 87 bucks.
